Jason & coilers,

Why apply the trigger between the first and second segments?
I'm triggering my 7 segment RQ/TCBOR gap with the trigger
applied to the middle, or fourth, segment.  This maintains
a balance with respect to the end segments and also makes
use of the parallel return path to the trigger transformer
offered by the bypass caps in the "Terry" filter.
